 Originating in Ghent or Bruges, Flanders, in the early sixteenth century, this Dominican Book of Hours focuses on the Passion of Christ and the Corpus Christi. This book masquerades as a purely authentic medieval manuscript, when in fact it is a modern and medieval hybrid. The majority of the manuscript was made ca. 1500, but it had remained unfinished. Its nineteenth-century owner, John Boykett Jarman, commissioned English illustrator William Caleb Wing to "finish" the manuscript ca. 1850. Known for his manuscript illumination skills, Wing recreated imagery typical of a fifteenth- to sixteenth-century Flemish Book of Hours. Henry Walters was aware that the manuscript was partially painted in the nineteenth century when he purchased it, as the manuscript is noted as a "forgery" in the James C. Anderson inventory, December 7th, 1913. Whether pages and images are original or nineteenth century has been indicated both within the individual text parts as well as within the image cataloging. Baltimore The Walters Art Museum W.441 The primary language in this manuscript is Latin. 1r - 128v Book of Hours (Medieval text, Modern illuminations) 1r - 6v Calendar Januarius die 7v - 21v Liturgy of Easter Protestatio aut oratio in introitu et surrectione lectio : a quo libet xpiano dicenda : facta per sanctum vincentium ferrarii : Et primo te ipsum signa sic dicendo In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti Amen Dominican use; fols. 8r-11v: St. Vincent Ferrer profession prayer, oratio pro gratiarum actione, Intemerata; fols. 12r-19v: processional, St. Bernard’s verses (O Bone Jesu), instruction for the priest before the altar, Offertory, Consecration, elevation of the Host; fol. 20r-v: Pope Benedict’s prayer for indulgence; fols. 20v-21v: prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas for the elevation of the Host, adoration of the blood of Christ Fol. 7: modern parchment; fols. 8r-v: modern parchment and text; fols. 9r-21v: original parchment and text; 22v - 30v Prayers of Pope Boniface VI and writings of St. Thomas Aquinas Sequens oratio est scripta in tabula sancti sepulcri: et ad supplicationem philippi regis francie: bonefacius papa: vi: dedit omnibus eam devote dicentibus inter elevationem corporis xpi et agnus dei duo milia annorum de indulgentia: s Domine ihu xpriste Fols. 23r-24v: Pope Boniface's prayers to recite for indulgence at the elevation of the Host; fols. 24v-30v: St. Thomas Aquinas' writings on the Eucharist Fol. 22: modern parchment; fols. 23r-30v: original parchment and original text; "Papa Boniface VI" is most likely Pope Boniface XI, 1350-1404, as his successor Pope Innocent is mentioned later in the manuscript, and St. Vincent Ferrer, also explicitly mentioned at the beginning of the manuscript, was his contemporary 31v - 71v Hours of the Passion Officium de passione domini nostri ihu xpi: ad matutina: Domine labia mea aperies Fol. 32r: Matins; fol. 38r: Lauds; fol. 43r: Prime; fol. 47r: Terce; fol. 52r: Sext; fol. 57r: None; fol. 63r: Vespers; fol. 68r: Compline; Fol. 31: modern parchment; fols. 32r-36v: original parchment and text; fol. 37: original parchment and original text (recto only); fols. 38r-41v: original parchment and original text; fol. 42: original parchment and original text (recto only); fols. 43r-45v: original parchment and original text; fol. 46: original parchment and original text (recto only); fols. 47-50: original parchment and original text; fols. 51: original parchment and original text (recto only); fols. 52r-55v: original parchment and original text; fol. 56: original parchment and original text (recto only): fols. 57r-61v: original parchment and original text; fol. 62: original parchment and original text (recto only); fols 63r-66v: original parchment and original text; fol. 67: modern parchment; fols. 68r-71v: original parchment and original text 71v - 77v Mass of the Five Wounds Missa quinque plagarum: s Humiliavit semetipsum Original parchment and text; fol. 72r-v: preparation of the Mass; fols. 72v-73r: stations of the cross prayer; fols. 74v-75v: Nicaenum Crede; fols. 75v-76r: Sanctus and Communion 78v - 86v The Passion of Christ, according to John Passio domini nostri ihesu: xpristi: secundum iohannem Egressus est Dominus Fol. 78: modern parchment; fols. 79r-86v: original parchment and text 87v - 96v Fifteen Prayers of St. Bridget Innocencius papa concessit omnibus vere contritis: confessis: et debite satisfactis: sequentem orationem ob honore vulneris: dextere lateris christi devote dicentibus: iiii: milia annos indulgencie: Cuius vera mensura in sequenti forma continetur Ave vulnus lateris Fol. 88r: Pope Innocent's prayer for indulgence; fols. 89r-94r: fifteen prayers or "O's" of St. Bridget; fol. 94v: Bede's prayer, majority of prayer scratched out; fols. 94v-96v: prayers Fol. 87: modern parchment; fols. 88r-96v: original parchment and text 97v - 105v Office of all Saints Incipit officium de omnibus sanctis die mercurii dicendum Domine labia mea aperies Fols. 98r-102v: Hours Prime to Compline; fols. 102v-104v: St. John's vision of the Apocalypse; fols. 104v-105r: Offertory Fol. 97: modern parchment; fols. 98r-105v: original parchment and original text 106v - 111v Office of the Body of Christ Incipit officium corporis xpi die iovis dicendum: ad matutina Domine labia mea aperies Fol. 106: modern parchment; fols. 107r-111v: original parchment and original text 112v - 117v Mass of the Body of Christ Incipit missa de corpore xpristi Cibavit eos ex adipe frumenti Fols. 113r-114r: Letter of Paul to the Corinthians; fol. 114r-114v: reading from the Gospel of John; fols. 114v-117v: Offertory and reading after Communion Fol. 112: modern parchment; fols. 113r-117v: original parchment and original text 118v - 123v Hours of the Virgin, Saturday Pro die sabbati hore beate marie virginis.
